Not likely, unless he can track down the stranger and prove that the stranger stole his bitcoin. Why the hell would anyone give their seed to a complete stranger unless they don't know what the heck they're doing anyway?

He did not know what the seed was for. The stranger gave him instructions on how to get it from the wallet.

I'd say the chances of him getting anything back is about 0%. It is definitely an expensive learning mistake though...

A friend who asked for instructions on how to use certain features of his wallet, was apparently tricked into divulging his seed to a stranger, and now his 2.6 btc are missing from the wallet, and so is the stranger. Does he have any recourse?
